SUTTON BONINGTON: Seven homes in total are planned including an extension to the pub

THE disused Station Hotel pub in Sutton Bonington could be converted into housing if new plans are given the go-ahead.

Rushcliffe Borough Council are to take a decision on the change of use, refurbishment and extension of the Station Road pub premises into three dwellings, as well as the demolition of the outbuildings and construction of a further four dwellings, as well as car parking, access and landscaping.

In a design and access statement submitted with the planning application, it says: “The public house ceased trading in 2010. The deterioration of the business can be seen in the condition of the site and the buildings which have lacked investment and upkeep for a long period.

“The proposal seeks to redevelop the site for residential purposes; to retain and refurbish the buildings on site which are capable of conversion and to replace other buildings with new dwellings.”
